What exactly falls into the ADR category? Is it any document requested during processing, or a very specific thing? In my case, they asked me back in January for a couple of documents, like my CV.
In my case was the military record of my husband. (Mandatory service back in our home country)

Technically every request made by ircc after your application submission is ADR, but things like remedical request , consent form doesn't make application complex.But specific ADR's regarding employment , visa refusals , previous work with gov organizations would make application complex as they would take extra time to pass eligibility and security stage.

Okay, so I was in the background check stage since April 19th. I got issued the golden email yesterday confirming my residency. Don't give up hope - I was in the Sydney/Ottawa situation.

They also asked me for the military record ("Military Table" in GCMS notes), even though I explained in my application that I did not serve in the military and provided a supporting document. That's probably the reason for the delay, but I can't imagine what they have been doing for seven months now. Do you know by any chance what they do with that information?

Congratulations! I have the same PVO/SVO, currently at the nine-month mark.

Congrats! Did you have a record "Background verification in progress" in your tracker timeline? or was it updated to "Completed" directly?

Yes it went "in progress" then completed. I contacted IRCC a number of times, they said it was the security part which took the most time.

Just want to confirm, how long was your security in progress before it went to completed? It was not from "not started" to "completed" directly as per your call to IRCC right?

I don't know if it's 100% accurate, but it seems like PVO Sydney operates in a way that if you are under CBSA review (specifically security), then there will be no movement until the due date on your application that can be found in CBSA notes.

What date is that and where is it? I haven't received my notes yet.

Does this apply to gcms notes too?

It's the due date on the first page of the notes. The general due date of the application, not the due date on the security page
I got my CBSA notes today and the due date for the security is 4 months after the due date of application. Any idea which one takes precedence or importance?

As far as I understand, the due date of the application matters. What is your application due date?
